I love social networking on Twitter and Facebook. Here's one example why. Yesterday I received this urgent prayer request from our friends at International Christian Concern. Please join us in prayer.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that what goes into the eye gate can often influence behavior. Sadly, such is the case with this story from Compass Direct. Full story here.

This story is especially touching to me, because the father who is trying to get his ID changed, is doing it in part because he doesn't want his 14 year old daughter to have to deal with the effects of a Muslim identity when she turns 16.

This story is a few days old, but I just saw it today and thought that you all might enjoy watching the video that CBN produced regarding the persecution that is in Orissa, India.
